Sorry, but Exodia just isn't a good card at all. First of all, it's hard to win by this method, and it's not practical at all. It's very easy to counter attack it, since your game depends solely on all Exodia pieces. If one is destroyed or removed from play, your game will be terribly diminished. If you use cards in your deck which improve your draw, you wont have enough cards to help you defend yourself. And to be honest, Exodia is not a good defender. It is pretty much a ONE WAY card, which to be honest, is useless.

I agree with masterduler, but since the release of the forbidden list, Gold Sarcophagus isn't banned anymore., sangan is limited, and well witch of the forest is banned..it's pretty o.k. to play with an exodia deck. But you can't really rely on it, i mean if your opponent plays a deck that discards your hand your gonna be messed up. Exodia has lots of weakness if you doon't have enough support cards to help it. Example, your opponent uses card of destruction, if you don't have magic jammer you're messed. Even though i agree with masterdueler i kinda like exodia too . I don't really know which side is better.

There is a perfect exodia combo in existence. You need only have a few Heart of the Underdog and a normal monster deck. All you need is to draw heart of the underdog early on. I suggest using something like golden sarcophagus to add it to your hand. If those are the only non monster. Cards in your deck its a guaranteed win unless your opponent has a trap or quick play spell that discards your hand in an instant. That would be bad. Exodia is overrated.

Exodia is terrible, if you are running exodia in your deck, you will have so many dead draws and lose so fast to speed decks out there that swarm the field. it gives you no hand advantage and no field advantage to use him.

the only time exodia is good is if you run a deck completely dedicated to him, an exodia deck- which has the ability to get all 5 cards in your hand on your 2nd turn minimum just based on the cards in your deck. I created one Exodia deck, you can see it here: EXODIA DECK

(once you activate appropriate, you just play cards that make both players draw and you will have an entire deck in your hands in no time at all)

*the 6 card hand limit is only applied during the end phase

Exodia rating:

1/10

Exodia rating in an Exodia deck:

6.5/10 (because Exodia decks are not fun to use or play against and can be negated fairly easily)

Exodia is not bad at all. its so easy to create a deck for him and even easier to protect him, also about the fun...
An Exodia deck is pretty funny to use compared to the meta decks like darkworld, dragon and xyz
